Counterattack is one of the first defensive skills you'll unlock, crucial for dealing with unblockable Burst Attacks. These attacks, signaled by a flashing symbol and a unique sound, can drain your stamina and health significantly. To counter them, press L1+Circle/LB+B at the precise moment the enemy's attack is about to hit you. Timing is key; a successful Counterattack not only prevents damage but also replenishes your stamina and staggers your opponent, opening a window for a powerful counterstrike. This move is particularly effective against enemies like The Viper, making your battles much more manageable.

Reflection is another vital defensive skill, especially useful against tougher bosses. By pressing L1+Triangle/LB+Y, you initiate a short animation where Khazan swings his weapon. The trick is to time this swing to collide with an enemy's attack, causing significant stamina damage and stunning them. Upgrades enhance Reflection by adding health damage and shortening the animation, allowing for more precise timing. However, missing the timing can be costly, resulting in health and stamina loss. Remember, Reflection won't work against Burst Attacks or grabs, so choose your moments wisely.
